dude, for non-movie heroes and new units just get ppl to do them. If i had the equipment i could do all the orcs and goblins and whatnot u need. I think I've mentioned before that i'm an impressionist....whatever that is =P.
If I were you and you were me I'd have a different face.

Yes I know, but that would have a VERY big risk of ending up cheesy. Not as an insult to you - perhaps you're an excellent actor. But the other day I was watching a trailer for the awesome LOTR mod for TotalWar for instance, and at some point you could tell in an INSTANT that it was a kid/dude/young man trying to sound like an older and evil caracter or impressive narrator. It just sounded MAJORLY pathetic. So... Imagine this. You and some other guys record voices for us:
1) I'd "demand" really high quality sound in 44,1 KHz stereo saved in MP3 format. That means not use some crap mic that came with your head set :p
2) What if it ends up lame and I have to say it. I think ppl would get offended and I'd rather not risk that.

So I rather have no sound, or experimental sound, than having to tell folks that I hate their voices/work, cause it's not EASY to imitate someone else, especially not a professional and specific actor.. And it's even harder to tell someone that their work suck ;)

So, this will probably not happen. We have 3-4 lines by Cel now though (I think that's all he gave us in the movies) and we'll set it up to something as good as possible =)

Thanks for the offer though :p

@Skybaxx: So he had a bad day with his voice, and its cracking a lot :p

There is a high chance of cheesyness, but there are some good voice actors...So you'd have to recruit those that are (known to be) the best.

One of my friends has a recording studio....i'd have to sell him my soul for it, though. I guess if i really wanted to i could pour a ton of money into a high-quality mic....but...hey, how did TEA do their voiceovers?

....And cheesyness can be an inate trait of RTS voiceovers, anyways. But trust me, if i could pull it off, you'd get high-quality stuff. And if it sucked....well, meh, i wouldn't care. =)

I'll see what I can do about ripping some sound clips from my DVDs. No promises, but I'll try.

there's already a few sounds/taunts for each character in Elvenstar mod.

btw:

Boromir: "One does not simply walk into Mordor"
Witch-King: "This is my Hour", The World of Men will fall", "You have fail", "Do not come between a Nazgûl and his Prey", "I will brake him"
Sauron: "you cannot hide", "i see you", "Build me an army worthy of Mordor", "There´s no life in the void. only Death"
Aragorn: "This day we fight"

and other characters with sounds ripped from the movies.

Almost all of these have already been ripped from the movies for SEE as well. Though...everything that is in the movies cannot be used due to music being louder than the actual spoken line. But I can assure you all that there will be some good new lines for every hero that is in the films...and a couple of nice additional sounds for creatures and taunts from massive armys!

Meh, I'll still try it anyway, if only for the experience. Plus, who knows? I might get a clip or two that you missed, or haven't done yet... Can't hurt, can I?

Ofcourse you cannot hurt! Missing cool lines might be more possible when making new ones for the characters that have big parts in the films...ex. Aragorn and Legolas.

Just try and EQ as much of the background noise as possible out and make them 44 100 HZ 224 mp3 files...so that you get good sound quality without making the files become gigantic!:sad2:

And if you normalize the sound files...make sure you don't normalize them over -2db...cause you risk making them peak...wich is not very pleasant to listen to at all:P

Good luck to you!

Yeah. I did those. :sad2:


Btw. Sounds that are too weak can be enhanced in the ini files.

Yes, Sul...they can but it does not sound as good if you have to crank up the volume to high on a file that is to low in volume...so to get the best quality of sound without bringing forth those annoying...(Damn...don't know how to say this in english). Well...to sum up: the sound quality gets much better if you normalize and EQ the sound before putting them in game!:thumbsupdrool:

I noticed that maybe 3-4 of all the 50-60 you did have low volume but we can fix that later. I'll let you know which it was soon =)

I'm too tired right now to try it today, but tomorrow one of the things I'm going to try to extract is Aragorn saying 'Show them no mercy, for you shall receive none!' in elvish at Helm's Deep. Also Aragorn yelling 'Charge'. (Sounds like Ar-yo)

[Edit] BTW, what software do you use to rip the audio? I was planning on ripping an .avi segment with Handbrake and then extracting the audio with AoA Audio Extractor. Final edits and tweaks would use Audacity.
